That is a scary story, Sgt Alvin P. Liendo "Tanto". And I think it's the first I've ever heard or read about Amir Hekmati.

I see that he started a hunger strike recently:

Thank you CW5 (Join to see).

Yes sir, that is correct. He is in dire straits. He's been there for 3 years, as you discovered from your research. I fear he is losing hope and this hunger strike may be just the excuse Iran needs to "get rid" of him. I hope the government hears our plea. I've written to my congressman. I and many of my Marine brothers and sisters are engaged on Twitter, Facebook and other social sites to get his information out there. We need to help Amir. Thank you for helping us spread the information.

There is a petition for his release here:

You may have to copy/paste, but any assist would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again and Semper Fi,

Tanto
